@Mike H. Thanks for the advice! With regards to actually getting the license, is taking a course online frowned upon? This would just be my best option regarding the time I have available.

Hello all, So, I am in a position where I could use some advice from the experts of BP. I've recently graduated from school, and am working full time in a marketing role in Atlanta, GA. In my spare time, I have become very interested in the world of real estate investing, interested enough where I am considering pursuing a real estate license. I am fortunate to have a family that is very involved in buying/renting/selling properties, and know that there would be an opportunity for me to step in as the family's agent, but I am trying to figure out what the best process to achieving that license would be. I also have a friend (and business partner) who is planning on listing his home in Alabama in December (to save any capex taxing), and also have an opportunity to be the agent for that property. With me working a full time job, and having an interest in obtaining a license in multiple states, what would you all consider to be the best strategy of fulfilling the hours requirements and testing requirements for my real estate license? Also, if you have any general advice for my situation, that would be great too! If this whole thing works out, I could definitely foresee some sort of a career change in the future.

@Danielle Fattizzi Ideally we could find a mid-size property with anywhere between 40-75 units. We don't want to get too big and be in too far over our heads.

Hello all! 

Excited to join BP, after browsing for a couple of hours it is evident this site has a wealth of knowledge and expertise available. 

So, for a quick background on myself, I am a recent college graduate living in Atlanta, GA, currently working at a marketing agency full-time, but have become extremely interested in pursuing some sort of real estate investing. Throughout the years, my family has bought and flipped several properties, so I have had the opportunity to be exposed to the benefits of investing in real estate, and now I am ready to venture out into the investing world myself. 

Having recently graduated, I have a minimal amount of capital at my disposal. But, I am fortunate to have family and friends around me who would be willing to participate in an investment with me and a close friend (recent graduate as well) taking the lead. 

With that being said, I am looking for some advice. In the past several weeks, my friend and I have been hard at work searching for a variety of different properties, with multi-family taking precedent. Considering we have some potential investors interested, we feel that the multi-family route could have the most potential. To minimize costs, my partner and I would manage the property ourselves, and look to refinance in several years to take complete ownership of the property or invest in new properties. We have not solidified a specific property yet, but are searching hard and researching the best we can. 

Is this the best route? Would love to hear some expert opinions on the subject, and potentially connect with any one in the Atlanta market. 

Best, 

Josh
